I HEREBY forewarn all persons from trading for a note of hand, payable in good
property to R. C. Beasley, of the state of Georgia, and signed by me.
The note is dated, August 8th 1828, and was due October 8th 1828.

I am determined not to redeem the said note, unless compelled by law,
as the consideration for which it was given has failed.
TEGENEE MURPHEY.
Nov. 19. 1828.
